The release of four audio recordings of Diego Spagnuolo, former director of the National Agency for Disability (ANDIS, spanish acronym), further expands the range of alleged individuals involved in a bribery scandal affecting the Argentinian government.

The files expose a probable corruption network and requests for monetary handouts from disability providers by the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei, and her political advisor, Eduardo Menem.

The four new audio recordings released by the afternoon program ”Argenzuela” on the C5N news channel expose former Foreign Minister Diana Mondino and Sandra Pettovello, Minister of Human Capital and close friend of President Javier Milei, whom Spagnuolo also mentions.

Authorities are now deepening the investigation by inquiring about the defendants and one of the owners of Droguería Suizo Argentina SA, from which the money came, and who is directly implicated in this act of corruption.

Although the complaint is initially based on audio recordings attributed to the ousted head of ANDIS, Diego Spagnuolo, the courts have begun investigating whether there were irregularities in the bidding processes, such as the directing of contracts and the possibility of overpricing.

The Droguería Suizo Argentina is in the eye of the storm, with contracts totaling more than 100 billion pesos accumulated in less than two years of Javier Milei’s administration, from which the money for the bribes came.

There is also evidence that the company also had contracts with the Comprehensive Medical Care Program, which is used by people on social security and the sick.

Speaking at the inauguration of the new Corporación América building, President Javier Milei avoided directly addressing the alarming case, although he leveled harsh accusations against opposition legislators, whom he blamed for trying to sabotage his economic program.
